acts for acting, words for describing acting
After a long pause, this is an attempt to reactivate this blog, put forward some new ideas and rethink the old ones. This will be again a place for reflecting and hopefully sharing with all the friends that are now so far away.
I have been thinking lately of many ideas that could become performances and ways to push forward the research I started in my MA concerning text and performance. I have been thinking of a dance that takes place only in the mental space, and only through words. How can words replace action? What if there is a whole act where absolutely nothing happens except within each person who is hearing, and then it would happen to each person differently. Can a dance, described with the same words, be a hundred times different?
Words weighing as images determining movement through the rhythm in which they are delivered.
How about if then I keep describing and the movement is something completely different or just the opposite. What would the audience really see?
